There’s some venture capitalists who’re ready, willing and able to throw their money at whatever crackpot idea that comes their way. Then, there’s the kids with the crackpot ideas who think it’s okay to pitch anyone, anywhere, anytime for their money. As a result, you have a giant freakin’ mess of bad manners, products and attitudes. Nobody is more aware of this than entrepreneurs Andrew Hyde of StartupWeekend and Matt Emmi from OneButtonTouch. Hearing one too many bad pitches (and a rather unfortunate incident in a bar) at the StartupWeekend in Bloomington, Hyde and Emmi figured they could develop, in entirety, a company from start to finish on a single plane ride. After a game of rock, paper, scissors, the two to fleshed out the idea, built it on WordPress and voila, VC Wear was born. Each shirt comes at a price that only a venture capitalist could afford love — $100 a piece — and the option’s open to whomever’s ready to buy the company for a sweet $100K. Ladies and Gentlemen, Get your Amex Black cards ready!

Oooo nice ones. The Jet shirt could be a thong, too. Most things work as a thong.

Anyway, these are better than mine:

too bad Mr. Hyde commits securities fraud every time he does a startup weekend and leaves everyone very disappointed with his attitude towards actual entrepreneurs who show up to his events to help out.

Nice post!

One thing… Matt Emmi’s company is actually called OneButton, not OneButtonTouch. The correct URL for their website is http://www.onebuttonlife.com.
